The Moment

It was 2 years ago
Ya, it had been 2 years ago.

It was a brief moment.
Isn't it?
A brief moment can become everything.

Maybe,
The one thing i couldn't let go to the very end, wasn't you,
but my heart.
My own heart.
And all of the things that i couldn't ever say to you.

For all the locks you've disintegrated,
and for all the doubt you’ve erased,
there’s still a part of me that I cannot relinquish: my heart.
Because when you have too much interest in a person, you begin form illusions about that person.

Having to let go when you don't want to is a sad thing.
Not being ready to let go and not expecting it, but having to let go regardless,
is even worse.

It’s hard wanting more, but knowing better than to seek it.
It’s hard maintaining an expectation-free, non-attachment relationship with someone I expect things from and feel attached to.

I don’t know how to feel gratitude instead of searing pain.
I don’t know how to fill the space inside my chest that you once occupied perfectly.
I don’t know how to come to terms with the pure injustice of our separation.
I don’t know how to free myself from the ghost of what never became.

Like a difficult song that's unbearable to hear.
Like a tedious assignment.
It had to end in order to receive praise.

Even amongst many people, i like you.
I still like you.
A place where i can shout out my feeling for you.

Unfortunately,
A person heart doesn't get smarter with age.
Like falling for someone, sometimes falling away from someone takes time too.

If it ever works out between you and me,
I’m happy to give you the battered and bruised remnants of what she never wanted to begin with.
If it never does, at least you’ll know whom to blame.

However,
There are no 'ifs' when it concerns the past.

But,
Happy memories are the best gifts you can receive while you live.
So,
Thank you

Something remained between me and you,
because i felt sorry for that love.
That love,
I hope it blooms in a better place next time.
